    Hi there!

    Welcome mate. Sounds great. Very tidy megane too!

    Soon to be Clio 182 Cup (2004) Owner

    They're pretty good security wise, certainly better than the pug. The colour is called racing blue btw. Just for future reference!

    Tonbridge Tunbridge Wells photo meet?

    It's only 25 mins or so from my house so I'll be there.

    Bilstein B14's or SPAX RSX?

    No idea what the spax are like. But I love bilstein's.... Would get my money no question.

    phase 1 172, what wheels?!

    Ph2 wheels aren't even close to as nice as the f1's. As said, they look great in black.

    Lowering with uprated shocks.

    Uprated shocks and springs will cost you just as much as changing the hubs and getting coilovers mate. Much the better option.

    A DIFFERENT air filter thread

    People have tried just about every solution to this. None of them work better than a v6 airbox.

    *Pic req* - 1*2's on 205-45-16 tyres.

    I prefer the look of 195's tbh. There's bugger all in it performance wise.

    What do people think of these??? Advice needed on fitment please

    I would stick to 15 x 7 to be honest.... you'll be reducing your tread contact patch too much. They're 4 x 100, but I don't know what the golf bore size is? You may need spiggot rings. also, with offset, the lower the number, the wider they sit. So you'll probably find that with the greater...

    Is this normal for forged conrods?

    That's just from the oil in the sump I believe.

    Why does my exhaust only pop/bang when the car is cold?

    Really?! I was sure I read that in jms' section about it?

    pops and bangs

    You have to pay your membership to see traders I think....

    Looking to buy a Clio help please?!

    The clio is amongst the cheapest for insurance.... the 1.2 16v is group 7, the 1.4 is group 9. Really mate, your choices are, grin and bare it or fiddle your insurance a bit. Have you put your parents on as second drivers? That saved me a good few hundred pounds. Insuarnce companies are...

    Looking to buy a Clio help please?!

    I wasn't saying you should by them, just giving examples of what you can get for your money. Third party is often more expensive than fully comp.... have you tried both? Is your area quite wealthy? The gf's parents live in a very wealthy area just outside Crawley, but as far as insurance...

    Looking to buy a Clio help please?!

    :eek: that's what I paid for my cup! Even with the low mileage, that's too much mate. It's an 11 year old car after all. Private sale ftw. You should really pay your membership chap, will help you a lot with finding a car.

    Looking to buy a Clio help please?!

    Surely that's not a standard 1.2 fred? I drove one a few weeks back and it was unreal how slow it was.... although I guess it's unfair that I had driven there in my 172. EDIT: Thinking about it.... the one I drove might have been an 8V. perhaps that's why. I know everyone's saying the 1.4 is...

    Looking to buy a Clio help please?!

    No chance of getting the 1.2 to that power cheaply. The 1.4 is an infinitely better engine, the 1.2 is dangerously slow. Get that if you're at all performance oriented. £2800 is a huge amount of money though.... I'm guessing you've done a lot of searching? Try sky insurance on here, they do a...

    Clio 172 phase 2

    Cup's are for heroes IIRC..... £3000 will get you a very tidy cup mate. They're also cheaper for cam belt changes etc.... Are you planning on going on track at all? The cup is a little bit 'rawer', less sound deadening, less luxury stuff (that you don't really need). The only thing that lets...

    What Brakes?

    Re: Whats Brakes? They are great, but the ds2500's produce a huge amount more brake dust than oem pads. It's not worth the change unless it's going on track or you drive hard on the road.

    Will A 1.6 16v 2002 , Fit In My 1.2 16v 2002

    A race clutch for a 1.6.... that's a bit serious! Honestly though, massive waste of money mate. An engine conversion will set you back a lot of cash. As above, wait until you can afford a sport.

    Bit of Advice...

    Not worth buying a diesel unless you're doing silly miles. The very best way to save fuel is to drive economically.... it's not like a clio is a 15mpg V8. Just not worth changing. You'll regret it and want to change back because you're bored of the diesel.

    UK Modified Tour: March 2011 Meet - Bishops Stortford

    worth a visit i guess. Have they not got a website or anything? You'll be able to tell exactly what the day will be like from pictures.

    Best way to remove paint from alloys?

    Too much effort to bother.... sandblasting is the way forward. Shouldn't cost you much at all.

    Fair doos bud, I don't know much about carbon skinning, didn't realise how much work was involved.

    Knocking on acceleration

    Search mate. Been covered 100 times. 90% It will be your dogbone gearbox mount, replace it with a powerflex one. If it's not, then it'll be upper gearbox mount.
